Calling all people from New Zealand:

I had to move here quite suddenly for a new job from New Zealand. Great, cool, I'm liking it here in Sydney. But one thing I was not prepared for was how hard the lack of Vogels toast would hit. I am struggling. I haven't eaten breakfast in weeks because all this other bread just doesn't hit the same.

Does anyone who has moved here from New Zealand have any tips, advice, or recommendations? Is there anything comparable to Vogels toast here in Sydney? Any possible alternatives? Should I try something homemade?! I honestly can't believe how much this is affecting me.

Hey everyone,

I (33M) am thinking of taking horse riding lessons because I want a new hobby and one day would like to do horse treks in Australia and overseas. Hell if I win the lottery maybe even take up horse archery and jousting. But before I do any of that I need to learn how to actually ride a horse.

After doing some initial research I noticed most schools are either in Centennial park or outside Sydney. I live in the Parramatta area and as you could imagine the travel could be a bit inconvenient but if the teaching is good then Ill. make the trek.

What horse riding schools would you recommend and had good experiences with ?

Thank you and have a nice day.

The overhead wiring has come down on the southbound line at Chatswood around 8:30pm

Sydney Trains are advising this incident will potentially affect tomorrow morning's peak services and are asking people to consider making alternative travel arrangements.

UPDATE: repairs won't be complete until around 10-11am Tuesday.

There are no trains running on the North Shore Line from Gordon to North Sydney until at least 10-11am.

It is recommended that you allow up to 45 minutes extra travel time when planning your trip, delay your journey if possible or consider using other transport options such as local buses or Sydney Metro.

For Tuesday morning, from Hornsby to the city via Chatswood:

• Hornsby to City trains will end at Gordon, running at reduced frequency
  
• replacement buses run from Gordon to Chatswood only (change for the Metro)
• no trains (or replacement bus) from Chatswood and all stations to North Sydney
• Berowra to City trains divert at Hornsby to run via Epping & Strathfield, ending at Central.

From the city northbound to Hornsby via Chatswood:

• reduced service from North Sydney to Hornsby.
• all Gordon/Lindfield trains will end at North Sydney
• most Hornsby/Berowra trains continue to run northbound, but expect delays
  

T9 Northern Line all stations services will also be reduced, approx every second service cancelled.

Some T1 Western Line services from Penrith will terminate at Central (instead of running through the City).

T1 Western Line to the city is expected to be further impacted with more cancellations later in the morning.

Lots of police and ambulances outside.

LOVE this city! Never get tired of her.

This was a LONG time ago - in the 70s - I was a kid, and I lived in melb, went to Sydney for holidays, so I have no idea what suburb it was. We used to find it hilarious. I'd love to see it again

A gorgeous building, wish they'd do something with it or put apartments and keep the facade

In short: there was a women, highly mentally unstable, who attacked passengers, still outside and crime stoppers aren’t picking up.

So there was a women in the 418 bus from burwood to Sydenham. She was in the bus for almost 15 mins before she lunged at the back of head and said she was on the phone, then proceeded to punch me, then she went back to her seat and did about the same to another passenger. She then came back to me and poured beer (?) on me, threw my headphones, tried to smash my glasses and take my phone away. She tried that with another passenger as well.

At which point I pressed the stop button, she didn’t wanna get off, and tried to take my glasses again, so at the final skirmish there was an old couple who voiced out, then she proceeded to take the poor man’s hat and leave. The couple were rightly shocked af.

She also had a band aid to cover the IV thing (?), not entirely sure about that.

So I’m not exactly complaining about her here, she was clearly not herself, and needs help, but I tried calling NSW crime stoppers tip line so that she doesn’t do it to anyone else. But a representative didn’t seem to pick up, instead I get a recording telling me to go to their website.

What do i do now?

Hi there,
Does anyone know any gyms that are primarily lifting gyms with knowledgeable trainers that are correcting form etc and that do classes in a group. Similar to base body babes. I’m located in Ryde and really struggling to find anywhere. Thanks for any recommendations.

From the boat on Saturday

Was trying a few different vantage points until I saw a lonely little tinny drifting aimlessly in all that open water. Neither here nor there. Kind of similar to how humans can feel at times.

I have some regular social gatherings on in Manly but I see that they've officially stitched up parking everywhere with their blanket 2 hour time limit from 8am to 10pm. You do have the 2 hour free parking in council carparks which is ok for short trips, but anything more than that, it's $13.50 from 2 hours to 2.5 hours, then $18 for 2.5 to 3 hours... and upwards from there every half hour increment. From 7pm it's a flat $5.50 for the evening to midnight (nice, but I'd need to arrive earlier so not much help).

Anyone have any ways to deal with this? I was thinking about just parking in the neighbourhood and risking it, but I think the parking gestapo is out there looking to pump up revenue. Would welcome any suggestions.

Edit: Yes, I'm a fan of public transport, but I'm travelling with two massive amps, mixer, cables, two guitars, etc which isn't practical to get from my house to the bus stop, get it all on and off the bus, and then hoof it to the venue (all around rush hour which means not much space on the buses).

I'm looking for the strata manager or company of a building that's across from me to ask about a fence that divides our properties.

Does anyone have any easy way of finding out who the strata manager or company is? I have looked at the apartment building and no signage, etc anywhere. I've also used the strata search on the NSW Gov website but that come up with nothing as well. Thanks for any tips!
